“As we began development of the Hub, we knew we needed to quickly expand the R&D team to bring the Hub to market in the desired timeframe,” said Dan Smith, senior vice president, marketing, ClickSquared. “Moreover, we were looking for a partner that had a deep understanding of the subject matter. The experience that Konstantin and his team brought to the project helped us to significantly accelerate our development effort.”
